Dara Desgagnés makes it into drydock.

1. Dara enters the Novadock this morning.

As reported Dara Desgagnés arrived Thursday with steering problems. The ship entered the Novadock, but was soon back out in the harbour at anchor. It spent yesterday at the Woodside dock with pumping trucks alongside. My conclusion is that she had bilge or other tank sludge that needed to be removed in order to be gas free or for hot work.
This morning, early, she moved back into the Novadock and was soon high and dry.

2. The ship spent yesterday at the Woodside pier. Judging by the quality of her paint work, she must have been in drydock quite recently.
